Famous quotes containing the word sang:
“I respect the ways of old folks, but the blood of a rooster or a goat cannot turn the seasons, change the course of the clouds and fill them up with water like bladders. The other night, at the ceremony for Legba, I danced and sang my fill: I am a black man, no? and I enjoyed it like a true Negro should. When the drums beat, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel the itch in my hips and up and down my legs, I have got to join the party. But that is all.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
“When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?”
—Bible: Hebrew Job (l. XXXVIII, 7)
